A Complete Unknown15

Directed by James Mangold | USA | 2024 | 2h 20m | Starring Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Edward Norton, Monica Barbaro, Joe Tippett

Set in the Greenwich Village music scene of 1961, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in New York with his guitar and a revolutionary talent. As he creates deep personal connections during his meteoric rise, he begins to chafe against the confines of the folk movement. Unwilling to be boxed in, he makes a bold decision that forever reshapes the trajectory of American music. Oscar-nominee Timothée Chalamet embodies the magnetic spirit of Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s electrifying musical biopic.

🏆 Nominated for 8 Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Lead Actor) 6 BAFTA Film Awards (including Best Film and Best Adapted Screenplay).

Reviews

‘James Mangold’s biopic follows the rise of the era-defining star with Chalamet brilliantly embodying his shapeshifting allure’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘This is an extraordinary performance, far deeper than an impersonation, that charts the progress of the singer-songwriter, the music scene he entered and altered, and events in the wider world during times that were urgently a’changin’.’
★★★★
Nick Curtis, London Evening Standard

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
